The A Adenosine Receptor (AAR) is an important therapeutic target due to its role in inflammation and immune response regulation. Herein, we synthesized and evaluated 5'-deoxy-adenosine derivatives with oxygen at the 4'-position, comparing them to previously studied 4'-thionucleosides. Compound exhibited the highest binding affinity ( = 5.9 ± 1.1 nM), consistent with the trend observed in the 4'-thionucleosides. Notably, the 5'-deoxy-adenosine derivatives demonstrated enhanced agonistic activity. Docking studies with compound revealed a shift in binding mode when oxygen replaced sulfur at the 4'-position. The compounds retained strong interactions with critical residues, such as Thr94, even without a hydrogen bond donor at the 5'-position. These results explain the increased agonistic effect observed when the ring heteroatom was changed from sulfur to oxygen.

In vivo, inhibition of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) expression in humans around the time of birth causes the clinical manifestation of sickle cell and beta-thalassemia syndromes. Inhibition of HbF among cultured cells was recently described by the adenosine derivative molecule named SQ22536. Here, a primary cell culture model was utilized to further explore the inhibition of HbF by adenosine derivative molecules.

This study was conducted to elucidate the role of S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH) hydrolase, 5'-nucleotidase and adenosine kinase in the production and removal of adenosine in the isolated guinea pig heart during normoxic (95% O2) and hypoxic (30% O2) perfusion. Using an adenosine kinase inhibitor (5'-amino-5'-deoxy-adenosine; 50 microM) and an adenosine deaminase inhibitor (EHNA; 5 microM) the total steady-state production rate of adenosine in the heart was estimated to be greater than 1.2 nmol.

We have previously reported that prolonged chronic exposure to the S-adenosyl-L-methionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC) inhibitor, 5'-([(Z)-4-amino-2-butenyl]methylamino)-5'-deoxy-adenosine (MDL 73811, AbeAdo), leads to cytostasis of L1210 cells [Byers, Ganem and Pegg (1992) Biochem. J. 287, 717-724].
